HCG - VLCD Day 8 (P2)

[MSumodobila]

Lumpia always gets me too. Whoa, 6.4lbs in a week Ai. That's awesome Ai. I going to go through every one of your videos. I know I'm kinda late on the responses but, I don't want to miss anything. I'm not sure how this diet works so bare with me k. Are you working out at the same time and are you counting calories when you're on this diet?

@MSumodobila - exercise is not necessary. walking 30 minutes a day is best. toward the end of the diet, i did work out, but not extreme.

I have that same jacket.. you are doing fine. hang in there. If you are going to use anything other than Stevia, the next best choice is saccharin aka "Sweet n Low".. others promote hunger and craving for sugar... just saying. Aspartame is HORRIBLE for brain function... and other side effects. I partake in moderation... very, very, very slightly.

I UNDERSTAND so much your pain.

I saw my grandmother die of complications. Diabetes skips every other generation so watch your children for signs.

Remember, Hon, you can't make anyone else do this. I'm sorry your mother is dealing with Diabetes. Dr. Arthur Agatston in "The South Beach Heart Health Program" book, explains how Insulin Resistance makes weight loss so difficult, and how it ruins the blood vessel walls and causes heart attacks and strokes and why diabetics have it much more. I wish your mother would read that book.

Thanks, I'll let my mom know about the book and hope she reads it. I know more about Diabetes than she does :( Thanks again!

I use Splenda because it was cheaper than stevia. I couldn't tell a difference with weight loss.

I hate to see you cry. Hopefully your mom will give HCG a try, even if its a short round.

[last20pounds]

Hope she does, too. Thanks.

i am thinkin of you and prayin for you at this sad time in your life =(

*HUGS*love ya girl

[last20pounds]

I didn't cheat today :)

[hcgbug]

I can totally relate to eating until I'm full... I have started to just tell myself that the "empty" feeling feels better. It has also helped when I'm not on the Vlcdays... I stop myself before I get too full...

Sorry to hear about your losses. I would love for my mom to do this too.. she really needs to because she is borderline diabetic. Hopefully our losses will inspire them to try it..

[changingwithtime]

Hey Aileen , thanks for joining my site. Your doin great! I was hoping to get a Video up and running but cannot figure this computer out, I know terrible! Was hoping my daughter would come home today and help me but no show. Maybe tommorrow,I started the VLGD yesterday and got up this morning and lost 3.8 lbs So happy but I know I am really going to need support so gotta get moving on those Videos. I want you to know you are in my Prayers.. hugs and kisses & congrats on the lbs and inches

[last20pounds]

THanks, I appreciate the prayers. How's you're first few days going on VLCD? I'm sure you're doing well. Can't wait to see your vlog.

[lumpilulu]

(((Hugs))) I'm so sorry for your losses. One is hard enough to deal with never mind back to back. I hope your mom is moved by the videos you sent her, it would do her a world of good to get on the protocol.

I use Stevia...very rarely.... I'm not a sweet eater really. Me, I'd rather pour ranch dressing on everything :P I thought Stevia was the only thing we're allowed. I bought a twin pack (200 packs) March 08 and I hardly made a dent in one box! I'll have this stuff forever. lol...

[last20pounds]

I really like Stevia :) I've been using it for a year now to sweeten my unsweetened 100% cranberry juics :)

[jennymathis1]

Empty feeling is hard for a lot of people.... not really hungry, just empty. I felt the same way for the first week or two. It gets better... and stop cheating!!! Or I am gonna have to come slap your egg-roll to the ground! LOL. :-)

Splenda is a personal choice.... some people hate the taste of Stevia, so they use Splenda.

Stay stong... your Mom will come around. Love you.

[last20pounds]

Yes, fairy god mother :)

[hcgmommy81]

[hcgmommy81]

Oh and jeez i forgot to answer to Q/.. My sister and I both used splenda on our prev rds with success I might add.. lol.. the only reason I'm using Purevia (stevia) is cause it was on sale..lol..

[last20pounds]

Being on Sale is always a good motivator :)

[luvpinkskies]

Diabetes runs in my family as well. Its hard. My condolences. My prayers are with you and your family. I use truvia. I heard splenda wasn't the best for our bodies somewhere.. (our brains I think). You are doing great on the hcg! Congrats!

[last20pounds]

my wellness doc recommends not to use Splenda, so i'll just go with that. take care.
